Your Risk Assessment spreadsheets are costing you!

Are your employees still manually managing Risk Assessments using spreadsheets?
If you answered yes, they are likely struggling to work with others efficiently, they are frustrated by version control issues, and they are wasting time trying to figure out who has given input and who still needs to provide information.

The data in spreadsheets is difficult to aggregate. Performing analyses within a spreadsheet is limited, and across multiple spreadsheets it is nearly impossible. There are nearly always issues with data entry and, therefore, data integrity. So, your employees are likely also spending time having to validate and track down information and they’re likely performing rework to shore up assessments and findings. For all of these reasons, spreadsheets prolong the time and expense of audits.

RGP’s policyIQ team has developed features that help you to automate questionnaires, inventories, risk ratings, capability measures, track gaps and roll-up findings. Your management and audit teams can begin collaborating on their finance, operational, fraud and enterprise risk assessments right away. Contributors from your locations can work together in one flexible and easy to use tool with confidence in the security and accuracy of their information and analyses. Templates for various risk assessments are easy to customize. Notes and assumptions from previous assessments can be easily referenced and considered in current risk calculations.

Your auditors can remotely review the content that you choose to make available to them and only after it has completed the review process that you enforce using policyIQ.
